- Improvement? and Sideways Invention: Alternative Technology
- Building the Web of Things …. fast prototyping Web-based physical mashups
- Motivating the Masses to Make
- Inspired by Edison
- What does “DIY” mean?
- What does “DIY” mean when you depend on a massive global industry for your raw materials?

- BYO Hackerspace
- Re-inventions and Improvements
